FIVE BASIC FREEDOMS

TO SEE AND HEAR WHAT IS HERE,
INSTEAD OF
WHAT SHOULD BE, WAS OR WILL BE,

TO SAY WHAT ONE FEELS AND THINKS,
INSTEAD OF WHAT ONE SHOULD,

TO FEEL WHAT ONE FEELS,
INSTEAD OF WHAT ONE OUGHT,

TO ASK FOR WHAT ONE WANTS,
INSTEAD OF ALWAYS
WAITING FOR PERMISSION,

TO TAKE RISKS IN ONE'S OWN BEHALF,
INSTEAD OF CHOOSING
TO BE ONLY "SECURE"
AND NOT ROCKING THE BOAT.
